Bhagavad-gita As It Is

BG Chapters 7 - 12

To pray to God when he is in difficulty is a natural instinct in every living being because he is eternally related with God.

BG 7.15, Purport: We get information from revealed scriptures that when the baby is in the mother's womb (an extremely uncomfortable situation) he prays to God for deliverance and promises to worship Him alone as soon as he gets out. To pray to God when he is in difficulty is a natural instinct in every living being because he is eternally related with God. But after his deliverance, the child forgets the difficulties of birth and forgets his deliverer also, being influenced by māyā, the illusory energy.
